  • “The Importance of Understanding Customer Service Styles in Building Excellent Customer Service”

    Within the Discussion Board area, write 300–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
    For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
    The old saying that first impressions are everlasting could not be more accurate for customer service professionals. Perceptions and feelings form within the first few minutes of engaging with customers. It can be the word choice, tone of voice, facial expression, or listening ability that could be a challenge. The message may not always come across to the customer as intended.
    Because of the complexity of human behavior, customer service professionals should recognize the difference in customer service styles (i.e., rational, inquisitive, decisive, and expressive) when dealing with customers.
    Review the following article for more information on customer service styles:
    The Four Customer Service Styles
    Understanding customer service styles can help build effective communication and improve your relationship with customers.
    Discuss the following with your classmates:
    What role do the customer service styles play in building excellent customer service?
    What communication challenges might you have when engaging a customer who has a different style from your own?

  • Strategic Staffing Handbook for Cheesecakes with a Twist Introduction to Cheesecakes with a Twist: A Strategic Staffing Handbook Legal Aspects of Staffing: Laws and Regulations for Recruiting and Selection in Different Levels of the Organization

    Company Name: Cheesecakes with a twist
    Started in November 2020
    Location: Mesquite Texas
    Brief Background: At Cheesecakes with A Twist, we believe in more than just delivering delicious desserts; we create an experience that embodies the essence of family, passion, flavor, and pure magic. We aim to serve you with the tiniest mouthwatering cheesecakes crafted most of which are made without flour and eggs.

From our homemade Whipped cream to the meticulous crafting of each dessert, we leave no detail unattended. Every bite of our cheesecakes is infused with the taste of handcrafted love.
    The objective of this Individual Course Project is to create an original Strategic Staffing Handbook that contains many of the vital tools used in the staffing process. This manual should be written with management in mind as the audience. Although the Human Resources department will “own” the handbook, it will be shared with hiring managers to assist them with understanding the company’s philosophy, methodology, and practice on staffing. As an academic process note, Turnitin reports will be monitored, and no more than 20% of your paper should be quoted or borrowed from outside sources. APA Style 7th Edition should be used to format and cite your work.
    This portion of the course project Staffing Handbook includes the following sections.  
    Company Background
    Definition of Strategic Staffing
    Job Analysis
    Legal Aspects of Staffing
    Your handbook must be completed to this point for the draft and should be approximately 3 to 4 full pages.
    Guidelines and Milestones
    You are the new Human Resources Business Partner at a medium-sized organization and it is your job to create an original (not copied from the text or other sources) handbook with many of the tools needed in the strategic staffing process. The body of the project should develop the following staffing tools. Organize your paper through the use of headings, which correspond to the following topics and tools:
    Provide a brief background of your organization (you can use a real one or a fictitious one.) Introduce the company to which the strategic staffing handbook applies. Talk about details such as the number of employees, years in business, strategic focus, mission, the types of positions this company has, and its purpose in the industry. End with a strong thesis statement that sets the stage for the rest of the handbook. In other words, the last one or two sentences of this section should summarize what you plan to talk about in this document.
    Define strategic staffing, as it pertains to your organization. (Review Course Objectives 1 and 2 as well as the supporting KSAs).
    The transition from the introduction where you discussed the company to talk about what the definition of strategic staffing is, why it’s important to staff strategically, and how you will go about making sure that strategic staffing happens in your company. You will cite ideas you use to help you develop the definition of strategic staffing. Explain how staffing structure, policies, practices, procedures, information systems, budgets, and legal reporting requirements can be implemented as an integrated staffing management system to help organizations meet their strategic goals. At the end of the section, you need to transition into the job analysis section, where you discuss the importance of having a job analysis in place to effectively staff the organization.
    Job Analysis (Review Course Objective 4 as well as the supporting KSAs). Identify the components of a complete job analysis (job content, requirements, competencies, compensation) and explain how the different parts of an integrated staffing management system contribute to each component. Explain how your organization will perform job analysis (i.e. method, timing, and who). If it will be accomplished differently at different levels of the organization, be sure to explain that difference.
    Legal Aspects of Staffing. (Review Course Objective 3 as well as the supporting KSAs). Given the possible vulnerabilities in today’s litigious environment, identify and describe the laws and regulations that affect the recruiting and selection process. (Include at least 3 laws/regulations that pertain to recruiting or selection, and explain their pertinence to your company’s strategy on staffing, in plain language, geared to your middle managers and hiring managers).

Use the textbook and the video to answer the question nothing else. For the the text book choose 5 chapters and write the answer for the question. Use the video and the text book to answer this. 
    Question.
    1. “Organizational behavior (OB) is the discipline that sets out to explain
    human behavior in organizations by examining the behavior of
    individuals, groups, or all the members of an organization as a whole.
    This examination relies on the science of identifying cause and effect
    relationships, making explicit the factors influencing decisions and
    behavior, and taking into account the specifics of various situations.”
    (Neubert & Dyck, 2014)
    a. Define HROB in relation to the theoretical framework that Neubert
    and Dyck (2014) offers for this course.
    You are a consultant who provides Human Resources and Organizational
    Behavior consulting services. The CEO of XYZ Inc. has shared with you a
    case study and wants to use the information from the video to highlight
    the influence of HROB within his organization. He is very keen to know
    your opinion on the human behavioral elements and its effects within
    this case study.
    b. Using any five concepts covered in the course and that you
    consider as central to your definition of HROB, define or explain
    the five concepts and its link to the human behavioral elements in
    the case study. Remember to use a comprehensive HROB logic
    when you articulate the links among the five topics and human
    behavior for the CEO of XYZ Inc.
